scriptions reach $4,000, (which will be
by the first of December, if the present
ratio of increase continues the agents of

ers have signified their desire to increase
their subscriptions for stock, satisfied

pany, you are offered this opportunity of
becoming SO by taking portion large

The Shooting Season.

On the 10th inst, the cunning season

man and boy who owns gun OR could
borrow one, went cunning. Up to the
time of going to press we have few acct

Howard Taylor Of the Delaware
House and Robert Tong, the butcher,
went out into Mill Creek hundred. They
brought home five rabbits, but the tale
of theirtribulations is an agonizing one.
In The excitement of the chase they fol-
lowed cotton-tail into the door yard of
a well-known farmer and shot him there
The good housewife, in her indignation,
ran out and seized a small rock. Taylor
grabbed the rabbit and made Off with
the irate woman in hot pursuit He is
fleet Of foot, but the chase was very ex-
citing, as he was obliged TO keep looking
back over his shoulder to be ready to
dodge the rock when it was hurled at
him. To make matter worse Tong SEEM
ed 10 side with the woman and urge her
on in the pursuit, shouting, go for him."
etc. After long run Taylor escaped
and still held his grip on the rabbit

Our suggestion in last weeks issue Of
The LEDGER has fallen in waste places,
we fear. Although the seed sown may
be cast in the proper place and in the
future may bear good fruit. 1t was our
intention to keep on trying-a little mite
to induce industries, manufactures, or
anything else that will bring capital here
put money in circulation. What en-
couragement have we ever received from
our own townspeople for doing our best
toward rousing the people TO action ;
trying TO build up the town advertising
weekly its advantages over other places
in regard to water and railroad facilities.
What town is better located2 It would
be difficult matter to find town like
Newark in regard to railroads. Situated
as Newark is-affording those who locate
here lines of transportation that cannpt
be surpassed anywhere. The nextqueR-
ton is what have we got 3? 1t is easily
answered. Nothingl 1t is rather hui,
initiating to us, and we hope to others,
of Newark to think that the little and
big towns down the Peninsula are far
ahead of US. Why This we will not
answer, as every business, moneyed OF
poor man knows. If there is not action
taken before long the dry rot which has
set in will consume us all.

I am an advertiser great
In letters bold and big and round,
The praises of my wares sound
Prosperity is my estate.
The people come,
The people go,
In one one continuous
Surging flow
They buy my goods and come again,
And I'm the happiest of men,
And this the reason relate:
l am an advertiser great
There Is a shop across the way
Where meier is heard human tread,
Where trade is paralyzed and dead,
With meier a customer day.
The people come,
The people go
But never there
They do not know
There's such a shop beneath the skies,
Because he does not advertise
Whlle L with pleasure contemplate
That Pm an advertiser great.
The secret of my fortune lies
In one small fact, which, may state
Too many trades learn too late,
Is have goods TO advertise
Then people come,
And people go,
In constant streams
For people know,
That he who has good wares to sell
viii surely advertise them well
And proudly reiterate,
I am an advertiser great

Horse bread is still commonly made in
Sweden. 1t is still commonly made and
used in Tyrol, and in certain parts of
Switzerland-the Engadine, for instance.
Your driver stops at roadside inn, and,
before he buys anything for himself, he
buys for his horse large cake of brown
oat bread, circular, fiattish the size and
shape of a Yorkshire yule cake. The
strong, quiet, steady horse-or mare very
Gkely-knows well what all this means;
looks on with eager eyes as he slices the
cake into strips; m,nches slice after slice
with keen enjoyment; and finally, per-
haps, lays its lips upon his palm to sug-
gest the possibility of another loaf Some
drivers, indeed, themselves desirous of a
meal, are content to crumble the bread
into trough; and in that case the horse
will not only eat all the large pieces, but
will with teeth and tongue take up every
morsel and erumb that strews the floor
OF the trough. Such are his views as to
the merits of oaten bread. Notes and
Queries

A Genial Restorative

Hostetter's stomach bitters are ems
phatically a genial restorative The
changes which this great botanic remedy
produces in the disordered organization
are always agreeable. though surely
progressive, never abrupt and violent.
On this account it is admirably adapted
to persons of delicate constitution and
weak nerves, to whom the powerful min
eral drugs are positively injurious. That
it initiates those processes which result
in the re-estabishment of healthful vigor
is conspiciously shown in cases where it
is taken to overcome that fruitful cause
of debility, indigestion, coupled. as it
usually is, with biiousness and constipa-
ton. Thorough digestion, regular evac
uation and abundant secretion, are re-
suits which promptly and invariably at
tend its systematic use. 1t is. besides,
the best protective against malaria, and
first rate diuretic.

The First Keen Twlnge.

AS the season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes itsell
known, are experienced after every ex.
posure. 1t is not claimed that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is specific for rheumatism
we doubt if there is, or can be, such 9
remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, warrant us in urging
others who suffer from rheumatis moi
take 1t before the first keen twinge.
